Welcome

Two missions, but the same gospel. That sums up the situation that eventually prevailed in the early church, even though there was much contention before the consensus was finally decided. That there could be unity of purpose as they worked in different ways with the different peoples and cultures surely argues for divine intervention! The Gospel in Galatians shows us the way forward today as we grapple with differing ideas of how to deal with our differences and yet be true to commission to spread the good news to everyone. This example of unity reveals that it is a unity of purpose rather than a unity of method–a clear mandate for the church today!

The real question is “what is the gospel?” The argument over forms and ceremonies here in Galatians shows how easily the good news of God and about God is perverted into something else. And anything but the good news of God is a perversion of the gospel.

Sabbath School on the Move meetings in progress

Speaking at Sligo Church Sabbath School Teachers’ Meeting:

Some of Dr. Gallagher’s articles and books are available here: articlesbooks

Through a free, conversational study of the Scriptures Dr. Jonathan Gallagher invites you to participate in an exciting analysis and discussion of the Sabbath school lesson in the context of the character of God and in the setting of the Great Controversy

This supportive ministry seeks to make the Sabbath school study a relevant and important part of spiritual life by providing actual class discussions in audio format, accompanied by study sheets. In this way class members become far more involved in discussing vital spiritual issues,particularly focusing on the nature and character of God in the setting of the Great Controversy. By centering the focus on a ‘free, conversational study of the Scriptures,’ Sabbath School On The Move contributes to both the growth and development of individual members and also a wider and more dynamic involvement in the fundamental message and mission of the church.

Recorded at different locations and also online, Sabbath School On The Move is made available free via the Internet to all, providing a rich resource for those teaching the lesson as well as those wishing to be more deeply informed about the subjects presented by the lesson. It is particularly useful to those who for various reasons are not able to attend Sabbath school in person, and provides a “virtual community” to members who can then experience the sense of belonging and participating in the wider church around the world.
